Getting Custom Parameters from incoming calls.

[dchannell]

Is it possible to get custom parameters twi_params passed along with call data sent with the twilioPhoneEmitter events -- more specifically the CallInvite event type?

I've found a way to retrieve customParameters using RNVoipPushNotification.

if (Platform.OS == "ios") {
    useEffect(() => {
      RNVoipPushNotification.addEventListener(
        "notification",
        (notification) => {
          delete notification.aps;

          console.log(notification.twi_params); // URL string with twi_params pass from TwiML app

          TwilioPhone.handleMessage(notification);
          RNVoipPushNotification.onVoipNotificationCompleted(notification.uuid);
        }
      );
      return () => {
        RNVoipPushNotification.removeEventListener("notification");
      };
    }, [false]);
  }

I also noticed that the TVOCallInvite [documentation] class has a property called customParameters.

I'm considering created a PR to add this functionality -- as it is a powerful way to pass along data to Twilio Apps to make more intuitive Call Answer Screens.

Just want to know if there is existing implementation / best practices for retrieving this info somewhere that I'm missing.

Hi, thanks for sharing this.

Maybe custom params could be also handled in the payload here.

Do you have an example in mind?
